Long-Term outcomes and durability of the mitroflow aortic bioprosthesis [PDF]
[Abstract] Background. This study aims to determine the incidence and causes of structural valve deterioration (SVD) among all models of Mitroflow bioprostheses (A12/LX/DL), as well as to define their long-term clinical and hemodynamic performance ...

Prosthetic Aortic Valves: Challenges and Solutions
Aortic Valve Disease (AVD) is the most common Valvular Heart Disease (VHD), affecting millions of people worldwide. Severe AVD is treated in most cases with prosthetic aortic valve replacement, which involves the substitution of the native aortic valve ...

Comparison between three types of stented pericardial aortic valves (Trivalve trial): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
International audienceBackgroundAortic valve stenosis is one of the most common heart diseases in older patients. Nowadays, surgical aortic valve replacement is the 'gold standard' treatment for this pathology and the most implanted prostheses are ...

Off-pump transapical balloon-expandable aortic valve endoprosthesis implantation [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The aortic valve replacement is a routine procedure, and involves replacement of the native valve/prosthesis. In most of the patients who undergo such procedure the risk is acceptable, but in some cases, such risk can justify contraindication.

Early calcific degeneration of the St. Jude Medical Epic aortic bioprosthesis
This report highlights the need for close surveillance of bioprosthetic valves. Unaccountable degeneration of bioprosthetic valves can develop early after implantation and usually requires replacing the failed valve with a mechanical prosthesis.

Long-term follow-up of elderly patients subjected to aortic valve replacement with mechanical prostheses [PDF]
We propose to analyse the long-term follow-up in patients older than 65 years of age who received a mechanical valve in the aortic position, using death and prosthetic-related complications as endpoints.
